I have not received any response to this query upstream, and I

if they have any plans with regard to it.  rPath isn't shipping
lxc at this point, so we have no plans for a security advisory.
But does pre-configured account information including root and
user passwords bother anyone else here?

I finally got the right contact info upstream, and we're talking
about this, so expect it to not be a problem in future releases.
For the record, it's dummy auth data, but still could be seen as a
backdoor, and will probably be changed to user-configured value.
